Pretty easy sequence to predict here people. Both for Cindy and Death Star. 1. Image leaks. 2. "Meh, not impressed, where has Lego's creativity gone?" 3. "Guaranteed investment winner" - Ed Mack 4. "Well, the previous version [is/isn't] selling well in [Europe/US], so don't think your market can predict the [US/Europe] market on this set!" 5. OrcKing posts high-res official thread pics minutes after they are available. 6. "You know, looking at this again, I like those two greebles, and look, two new unique parts in [seafoam blue/dark-light-gray-bley]" 7. Goes on sale on Lego.com with a Nexo Knights promo cycle or chopper. 8. "In for 3" - Exciter. 9. "This is my first Lego investment, was it good that I bought 20 of these already??" - user with reg date of x-1 week from posting date. ... .. ... 10. Profit! :-)

You missed 3B: thisset will do justfine I will start buying2 per month soon and work up to 500units you cant lose with large exclusives - Emazers

STAR WARS sets are far less risky than any Super Hero set, this side of The Tumbler. For the most part, the most valuable STAR WARS sets are based on vehicles, while successful Super Hero sets (with exception of Tumbler) are valuable because of their figures. Maybe you should build a few and you will see the difference. As for my completely incorrect logic...You think you have this all figured out, but you really have no clue. You think you are Spock, only dealing with logic and numbers. LEGO is more than logic. It is a passion and creative force unlike any Amiibo, baseball card or Beanie Baby. It's sad that I cannot teach you these things. You either get it or you don't. You can make money off of logic, but when push comes to shove, the person who "gets it" will have a distinct advantage over those who don't. This applies to any collectible or item that is resold. I have seen people like you on this forum before and you treat it as a commodity, with really no respect for the product itself. Next year, you will be on the next forum, discussing the next hot trends in collectibles, but never really appreciating the collectible being discussed. Until you accept the fact that emotion plays a huge part in the LEGO world, you will never truly understand the opinions of many on this site.

Going way off topic folks . Not the place

No, but hopefully it will have a helicopter.

According to Ironbrick, the whole planet is doomed and mankind with it! When i see his posts I immediately imagine

I think this set is really bad and worthless. I bought three of them a while back just to burn them in some kind of ritual.

My first garage sale find. 23 minifigures and one motorcycle. $0.25 each, $6 total. I left all the loose LEGO. Who is the dude on the lower right?

As someone that has built, or been a part of building just about every worthwhile star wars set from the last 5 years, this one ranks first in my book as one of the most satisfying builds. I know i'm not the only one that shares that opinion. Is it as sexy as the Slave 1? No. Is it a cooler build with a lot more interesting features.. Heck yes. To me, this is everything a large scale UCS set should strive to be. On the same token, i'm not going crazy on these as an investment and will just add a couple to my stock, but I expect it should do very well if you hold it past 2 years.

Went to grab a Technic Porsche from the Lego Store in Cleveland. Wanted to try to get another sale in under the wire on the eBay $50 for June seller fee promo. While in the store, I asked if there were any damaged box exclusives. Low and behold, they had a Porsche with a small crease on one side for 1,000 bonus VIP points. Couldn't pass that up. Already flipped the good box set, can build the damaged box set, and when my LEGO Shop at Home order shows up in 2018 I'll hold that one long term.

Point 5, I think you're missing a zero. Point 9. Ironbrick mentions for only the second time, possibly the third, how bad this new set is for the 10188

I am afraid it will go differently: 1. Shortyz will post the first leaked image and asks: thoughts? 2. dcdfan and speedsausage will say they like 10188 better. And that the boxart reminds them a little of the B-wing. 3. Val-E will alert everyone to keep an eye on Bricklink. 4. Many will share how happy they are they just sold their last 10188 for $500 a week before the leaked image. 5. Emazers will try to calm the horde by saying the 10188 wiill still sell for $500 down the road. 6. The new DS is starting to grow on MarleyMoose who isn't really a big fan of the set. 8. Some people, are happy with the new DS. Cause they just missed the 10188. Whilst many others, like Ciglione, are calling for a boycot of the new DS. 9. .........

BokBokTron Meggatron by Angus MacLane

I'd have to adopt you .... no more senior discount at Shopko!

That's why I operate my own in-house LEGO store where my kids can buy their favorite sets (prepopulated based on catalog reviews, wishlists and store visits) at discount prices.

Finally feel like I got a sweet deal...Got the Empire State Building for $10, which took me 10 mins to build and now joins his friends in the office. Then as we're arranging a place to meet up (did this deal via letgo) I asked if she had any other sets, so she said she had 2 more. Only one worth discussing. 4954 Creator Townhouse. Got that used/complete/no box for $40. $50 total and I am a happy camper. Can't wait to build that townhouse.

According to a story by Andrew Paul, Contributing Writer to Comicbookresources.com, the next wave of DC Mighty Micros will be released January 2017, and include three new superhero/villain pairs: Batman vs. Killer Moth Superman vs. Bizarro Wonder Woman vs. Doomsday For more on this, check out the Comicbookresources.com story here. Thoughts on the new pairings? Please feel free to share in the comments section below. View full blog article

If you don't have any I would suggest getting at least a few, as You will never see a large $300 Sandcrawler again, so if you have the money get them, I have plenty of them, got them all at the Lego stores and all beautiful Boxes. Ed

just like the last one, this does work on egift cards for TRU, sears, staples, lowes, etc...

Totally correct. And when the decision is "no".....I suggest to watch "A New Hope" (again) which pulls the decision-maker back into the rollercoaster of "feelings". Beside that, I really like this beast......

There are lots of opinions on the potential of the Sandcrawer in the 21 previous pages in this thread. You might be swayed one way or the other by reading through them. I don't think any new opinions will help with the decision.

I give to you....the Supermobile!

It's nice to see AFOLs join who value Lego as a hobby. Welcome to the website.

GHOSTBUSTERS 2016 HeadQuarters by Eric DRUON

Built the new Ghostbusters Ecto-1. From a build perspective, it's a nicer build than the original set. Pretty sharp too. http://imgur.com/a/bLzp3

If you say so. I'll keep my fingers crossed you're right before the remake with the reindeer coming from the other direction on the box...

In for 3...

@Ciglione I honestly couldn't believe it turned out to be such a great set that was offered. She sends me two random set #s, the other was just a small creator house that is maybe worth the $30 she was asking, but I didn't really like it, and have spent too much lately, the other, I just couldn't believe. I know my 6 year old will be super happy for an awesome set to build to keep our little city moving along. Finally feel like I got a win...I see all these amazing CL post wins about GBHQ for $150 NIB or 4 sets NIB worth $1000 for $100...guess it just pays to be persistent and ALWAYS ASK if they have more...I'll share some images once built but my son who turns 6 this weekend will be getting the mystery mansion and possibly a train set, so lots of building ahead!

Big Ben in its new home. Very tedious build which is worth it at the end.

Built Big Ben and added lights from Brick Stuff. What a slick addition to the model - I added two white LEDs in the top of the tower, and two green LEDs behind the colonnade above the four sided clock. Next step is to illuminate the facade and light the Tower Bridge displayed next to it. For those builders and MOCers that have thought about diving into lighting, you will not be disappointed.

Anger Poster by Angus MacLane

I see a couple pieces to some kind of ship (maybe pirate).

As Elkkthunder said, it is a Fantasy Era Troll Warrior wearing some random vest.

I know what you mean. I am going to go for the GE next and might look at purchasing TH and FB sometime in the near future as well. I imagine at some point I will bricklink GG. I would not be totally surprised to see an updated CC in the next couple of years with interior detail (maybe just a pipe dream). I only have so much space and if I continue to add to my lego collection year after year eventually I will run out of space and some sets may have to be stored. In order to try and not run into this problem in the future I am focusing on sets that I really like and not just ones that have the SW UCS label on them or exclusive label on them. I imagine my LEGO Shop at Home purchase will be the 911 GT, if it ever comes back in stock.

I had to do it 3 times for it to go through...

Just ordered Detective's Office and Brick Bank from LEGO Shop at Home and the Mystery Mansion for the kiddo who for some reason loves the Scooby Doo stuff even though she has never watched the cartoon. The important thing is that she likes Lego! I don't let here play with the bigger stuff that I build so it really gives her something to play with. I was on the fence between these modulars and the Sandcrawler. I am just not sure that I am in love with the SC, it would be a display piece and honestly as a display piece is looks rather bland for the $300 price tag. I now have all the current modulars and will look at buying the GE from a reseller sometime in the next month or two.

Seriously, you're point 3, wait your turn. We must have crappy leaked photos to pore over first.

21S06 seen in Lego Store.

Hopefully this means we'll get a Bizarro and Doomsday figure in 2017. I would hate to think that these are the only versions of those characters coming for mass release.

Finally got around to building (and photographing) 10197 Fire Brigade. It was the first modular I ever constructed. I enjoyed it, but, it wasn't as life changing as I expected. I'm in the process of tearing it down so I can sell it, lol. But I am looking forward to building others in the series.

Archimedes by Tyler

SSD. Bought this a few years ago assembled. I broke it down into 5x 1 gallon bags and have been dreading the build due to no baggies and the number of parts. I was so wrong. Very easy build from a big pile with a little pre-organization. I was a little sad when I finished...except for the big daddy pipe dream, I doubt I can find a build I will enjoy more. It's an absolute stunner of a display model too.

UA Ocean HQ. I haven't built let alone bought anything in this theme but when I saw Jangs review it got me. I was able to pick it up at TRUT for $60 and for that price not only is it a great build but nice display and awesome play set. It is very similar to building the tumbler not just because it is black but it has a technic core with many neat building techniques at different angles to complete the set. It does not have hull pieces like a traditional ship so at 1204 pieces you get a lot for your money. Also it is heavy and almost 2 feet long. I even applied the stickers. The side panels open up like Jabbas sail barge to reveal Accesories and play areas. I will include a pic so you know what set I am talking about but it probably won't do it justice. I swapped out all the Trans orange and some of the white with Trans light blue and I have a BL order on the way to finish off the main Gatling gun in Trans light blue. Up next is the DBZ

Built the Shuttle Tydirium last week, and it's now my new favorite non-exclusive Star Wars kit. All it needed was a stand, so I bricklinked the parts I needed so the stand is as new and shiny as the rest of it. Beautiful kit for those of you (like me) who do not have the UCS version.
